I used node-red-contrib-ui which worked fine and now I wanted to change to the newer node-red-dashboard but despite updating my nodes, when I open http://localhost:1880/ui I can only see the top blue page whitout any graphs. Also on the bottom of the page it shows "The url cannot be loaded into an iframe."
What is wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks

I had a same issue when installing the dashboard not globally
sudo npm install -g node-red-dashboard solved it for me ... maybe this is related to your issue.

Did you clear your caches?
Just try it in another browser

Hi,

you mentioned on the issue in github that 'even new nodes don't appear'.

Do you mean the dashboard nodes do not appear in the palette? Are there any error messages on startup?

Hi,

The dashboard nodes appear well in the palette and there is no error message. The wepage /ui appears but blank with blue on the top (unlike green in contrib-ui) but no graph appears. By new nodes I mean if in nodered I put a button and deploy it, it also doesn't appear on the webpage.

In the dashboard, rather than contrib-ui, you have to add your widgets to a group. If you have simply imported a contrib-ui flow they may not have a group associated with them.

In the dashboard sidebar there is a tree view of your tabs/groups/widgets. If you have any widgets not properly in a group, you'll get the warning you can see at the bottom of this screenshot. Clicking that link will add your widgets to a default group. You can then start to drag them around that tree to get them back where you want them.

I am having this issue "the URL cannot be loaded into an IFRAME" on my new installations. I'm using DIET-PI.... So Node-Red is fine, everything else works like SQLITE, MQTT etc,  all the dashboard items are there - I've nothing - no flows - i.e. a clean installation - on Windows with Chrome - and I am getting this message at the bottom of the screen (normally just out of view - you have to scroll down). Node 4.6.0 - npn 2.15.9  and node-red 0.15.1 and dashboard 2.1.0 

No obvious error messages when starting node-red.

If I then stick a text box onto the flow - even before I put a value in -the problem goes away...  and that's fine - but I'm sure that message should not be there on an empty system?

Ideas chaps?

Pete.

It's there because the dashboard is empty. And is indeed off the bottom of the screen. Not exactly informative, more for debug, has already been removed on master.

I was having the same problem, but solved it by selecting all nodes on my flow then exporting the nodes to my clipboard.  Next I created a new flow, deleted the original flow, then import the nodes from the clipboard.  Everything works now.

Hope this helps someone else.
